After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

On the second level, there was also a phantom.

This time, Qin Chuan did not wait for the illusory figure to make the first move, but instead chose to take the initiative.

He had already understood that the trial tower was about defeating layer after layer of phantoms before advancing to a higher level.

Qin Chuan lightly touched the ground with his feet and unleashed the Shadowless Step.

He was faster than the phantom, and before the phantom could react, he punched it in the chest.

"boom!"

The phantom image vanished!

Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan entered the third level, used similar techniques to defeat the illusory figures on this level, and entered the next level…

Qin Chuan quickly reached the eighth floor.

Upon entering the eighth floor, Qin Chuan frowned, his expression turning somewhat grave as he looked ahead.

There was also a sword-wielding phantom there, no different from the previous seven levels, but it had a strange aura about it.

It was as if the phantom and the sword in his hand had completely merged into one.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, sensing a very dangerous aura.

Just as he was about to make his move, the phantom in the distance suddenly vanished!

That's right, it's that kind of disappearing into thin air!

"not good!"

Suddenly sensing a strong sense of danger, Qin Chuan instinctively dodged to the side.

"Hey!"

The next second, the phantom suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chuan, and a sword pierced through his left shoulder.

Qin Chuan was terrified and quickly stepped back.

Although he managed to pull out the longsword, the phantom quickly stirred it a few more times during the process, causing a large amount of blood to splatter from his body.

Qin Chuan quickly retreated, stopping only after creating a safe distance between himself and the illusory figure.

At this moment, blood was flowing continuously from his left shoulder and body, staining most of his once clean robes red.

Qin Chuan's expression was solemn as he stared intently at the illusory figure not far away.

The previous afterimage did not disappear into thin air, but rather left a residual image in place because of its high speed.

So to his naked eye, it seemed as if he had disappeared.

"Such speed! Such a fast sword!"

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, the phantom started moving again, leaving afterimages in its place before rushing towards Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the movements of the illusory figure. He did not rush to attack, but simply kept dodging.

As time went on, he sustained more and more sword wounds.

But at the same time, he also became increasingly familiar with the attack methods of this phantom.

Five hours passed quickly.

Gradually, Qin Chuan went from being clumsy and dodging at the beginning to becoming more and more at ease, and the phantom became less and less able to hurt him.

Another hour passed.

While dodging, Qin Chuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and then he quickly threw a punch, which landed directly on the abdomen of the phantom.

"boom!"

The phantom image shattered completely!

"Phew!" Having finally defeated the illusory figure, Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down cross-legged to begin circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries.

At this moment, he was covered in blood!

The speed of this illusory figure has surpassed that of most Grandmasters.

Although the sword techniques are simple, consisting of only a few basic horizontal slashes and thrusts, they are extremely difficult for the average person to withstand!

Qin Chuan had no fewer than dozens of wounds, large and small, on his body.

Although there are no fatal injuries, in his current state, going directly to the next level would definitely not be a wise move.

The phantom of the ninth level is undoubtedly stronger than this level!

Therefore, Qin Chuan swallowed the healing pills while rapidly recovering from his injuries.

He knew that every second in the Trial Tower cost a huge amount of contribution points, so he dared not waste too much time on it.

About an hour later, Qin Chuan, feeling that he had recovered, stood up from the ground and walked toward the teleportation array to enter the ninth floor.

As he fast-forwarded to the teleportation array, Qin Chuan stopped and changed into a clean robe.

The robe I wore before was covered in blood, and it felt sticky and uncomfortable to wear.

Immediately, Qin Chuan took a deep breath, and his body began to tremble slightly.

He wasn't afraid; he was rather excited.

At the same time, he could also clearly feel that his combat ability was greatly enhanced in the process of fighting against the phantom.

With that in mind, Qin Chuan no longer hesitated and walked directly into the teleportation array.

The scene shifts, and we find ourselves in a void.

Although the surroundings were still shrouded in a gray mist, the space here was noticeably larger than the previous eight floors.

"call out!"

Just then, before Qin Chuan could even see clearly where he was, a white light flashed by.

He quickly turned his head away, and the white light brushed past his brow, causing a few strands of hair to fall out.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan's expression changed drastically.

Oh shit!

剑气！

This thing can even generate sword energy!

Before Qin Chuan could even express his feelings, the sword-wielding phantom opposite him charged towards him.

At the same time, the phantom continuously brandished its longsword, unleashing streaks of sword energy.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

This phantom not only possesses sword energy, but its speed is also several levels faster than the phantom on the eighth level.

This is really going to kill me!

Faced with an immense life-or-death crisis, Qin Chuan dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest, unleashing his full power as a ninth-level Xuan Master!

He continuously used the Shadowless Step, doing his best to dodge the attacks of the illusory sword energy.

Before long, they were back to the situation on the eighth floor, where they could only dodge frantically.

During this process, Qin Chuan did consider attacking.

But as soon as he was about to make a move, a sword aura would follow, leaving him no chance to attack.

Even without making a move, just dodging, he narrowly escaped death several times.

The clean robes that had just been changed into instantly turned into blood-stained clothes.

Qin Chuan gritted his teeth, thinking of a way to deal with the situation as he retreated, slowly being forced into a corner.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan was taken aback and realized that the phantom that had been attacking him relentlessly had stopped attacking and returned to its original position.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Qin Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally having a chance to catch his breath.

In the instant he looked down, he saw a white line on the ground, as if it had divided the area into two parts.

Upon seeing this, Qin Chuan instantly understood that once they entered this area, the illusory figure would stop and rest.

Conversely, as soon as you step outside, the phantom will immediately launch an attack.

After several attempts, the facts proved to be just as he had guessed.

Qin Chuan gave a wry smile; he had actually reached the ninth floor before he learned that such a thing existed.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to heal his wounds.

Looking at the numerous sword wounds, large and small, on his body, Qin Chuan felt completely numb.

That's horrible!

The speed of this phantom sword energy is truly outrageous.

Even if the opponent isn't at the Profound King Realm, they're at least at the peak of the Great Profound Master Realm!

After a full hour of treatment, Qin Chuan's injuries were almost completely healed.

He took a deep breath, stepped out of the safe zone within the white line, and walked towards the phantom!
